204: Chapter 204: Crow People 204: Chapter 204: Crow People “Wang Kai, dodge!” Ji Qian spotted the target of the shadow, which was the unguarded Wang Kai, and urgently shouted.
Initiating an Array could block the attack, but the shadow’s speed was too fast; initiating an Array would probably be too late, and the others were too far away to help effectively.
The shadow was about the size of Ye Shikai, meaning this creature was as big as a human.
If it was the leader of these crows, it was immense.
An attack at this moment would surely severely injure Wang Kai.
Ye Shikai could not afford to delay, nor would he hesitate out of jealousy, and he struck with all his might.
The shadow was fast, but as the Netherworld King, Ye Shikai was even faster.
Just as the shadow was about to collide with Wang Kai, Ye Shikai punched and sent the shadow flying.
The shadow, hit squarely by Ye Shikai’s fist, was knocked into the air and broke two large trees before coming to a stop.
Wang Kai was startled, but as the War God, he did not panic.
He had faced many dangers before, and this time was no different.
Had he panicked and retracted his Inner Strength suddenly, he would have faced a huge backlash, self-inflicting damage.
Wang Kai wouldn’t lose his composure; he trusted Ye Shikai to intervene in time, which he did.
Slowly, Wang Kai withdrew his Inner Strength, the hurricane gradually subsided, and the flock of crows quickly scattered.
Everyone ignored the scattering crows, instead keeping vigilant watch over the shadow.
As the dust settled, the shadow slowly stood up, revealing its true form.
“What the hell, that is so ugly.” Wang Kai, seeing the true form of the shadow, couldn’t help but comment.
Indeed, the shadow was a crow, but unlike the ones in the sky, it was a standing crow, or more precisely, a crow man.
“Damn, this crow is enchanted, isn’t it?” Soul Destroyer also commented.
Its sinister red eyes were like two red lamps in the darkness, looking quite frightening.
Ye Shikai positioned himself for battle.
There were nine people in Ye Shikai’s group, and facing a single crow man, they were not fearful.
“Humans, dare to enter my territory.” What was more surprising was that the crow could speak.
Its voice was very hoarse and deep.
When the crow man opened its mouth, it indeed shocked everyone; the Holy Mountain was indeed full of wonders.
The previous giant beast was similar; perhaps this crow man was another unknown creature.
“Let me handle this bird man,” Wang Kai shouted loudly.
He was nearly ambushed by the creature in front of him, and Wang Kai couldn’t swallow his pride.
With quick steps, Wang Kai lunged with a punch straight at the crow man, who unexpectedly dodged to the side, instantly moving away.
Wang Kai’s punch hit a tree instead, snapping it into two.
“Damn it.” Wang Kai watched as the crow man slipped away right under his nose.
He turned and threw another punch, but again the crow man dodged it.
Wang Kai launched a series of combination moves, but the crow man dodged them all.
What was even more infuriating was that each time the crow man dodged, it didn’t move far from its original position.
This distance was close enough for Wang Kai to reach without moving; however, he just couldn’t hit it, as if it was deliberately humiliating or provoking Wang Kai, possibly trying to wear him out.
“War God Spell— Tornado Sweep.” Out of frustration, Wang Kai once again launched a Main God Skill, his arms gathering powerful Inner Strength, and two tornados reappeared, charging straight at the crow man.
“Foolish moves.” The crow man spat out these words.
Although Wang Kai’s Tornado Sweep was extremely powerful and had strong impact force, for the crow man, it seemed more like a lion swatting at a fly.
The powerful tornados could not hit the agile body of the crow man, rendering the move futile.
The crow man flew to a tree, clinging tightly to the trunk and branches, unaffected by the trembling of the tornados.
“Can your Moonlight Formation trap it?” Ye Shikai turned and asked Ji Qian, who looked solemn.
“No, its movement speed is too fast.
The Array can’t trap him.” Ji Qian shook her head, slightly frustrated, saying “This crow man, knowing that our speed isn’t a match for it, is why it dares to be so reckless.”
“Your friend is really excited, in this forest, all the roots are connected, pulling one affects the whole body.
The power of sweeping through like a tornado is indeed massive, but it’s not possible to uproot the entire forest,” the voice of the Sword Spirit once again echoed in Ye Shikai’s mind.
“That’s true.” Ye Shikai realized Wang Kai couldn’t threaten the Crow people, so he decided to take action himself.
He gathered his Inner Strength in his palm, took a swift step forward, his killing intent fierce, and pounced towards the Crow people on the tree trunk.
The Crow people sensed Ye Shikai’s murderous intent, flapped their wings, and soared into the air.
Ye Shikai saw their feet, which were just like the claws of a crow, allowing them to easily perch on the tree.
Ye Shikai had to admit, this forest was a perfect home ground for the Crow people.
He considered himself extremely fast, but didn’t expect that he didn’t even graze them with his palm strike.
It seemed that the Crow people hadn’t used their full strength when they ambushed Wang Kai earlier.
Ye Shikai used all his Inner Strength to increase his speed, but still, there was a gap between him and the Crow people.
The others also came over to help, trying to intercept the Crow people, but it was futile, and the flock of crows also came back to continue attacking, turning the tide against them for a moment.
“Sword Spirit, do you have any ideas?” Ye Shikai asked, as the relentless crow attacks continued, inevitably wearing everyone down.
“Idiot, if the sweeping tornado doesn’t work, don’t you also have the Main God Skill?” the Sword Spirit said.
“Oh right, how could I forget that.”
“Plus, with the invisibility function of the Netherworld King’s Helmet, I’m sure the Crow people won’t be able to defend against you,” continued the Sword Spirit.
“Are you saying that my Avatars also have the invisibility effect?” Ye Shikai said.
“It does, but giving every Avatar invisibility would require a lot of Inner Strength, and you might not be able to sustain it now,” the Sword Spirit spoke hesitantly.
“Don’t worry about that.” Ye Shikai revealed a meaningful smile and took out an ancient book from his Storage Ring.
the ‘Inner God Scripture’, this is really something!” the Sword Spirit exclaimed excitedly.
“Exactly, I have already studied this ‘Inner God Scripture’.
It can greatly increase my Inner Strength in a short time, enough to support the Avatars.” Ye Shikai smiled.
This ‘Inner God Scripture’ was a secret manual given to him by his senior Xiang Qi back when they were in the ancient tomb, he didn’t expect it would come in handy so soon.
Following the spells of the ‘Inner God Scripture’, Ye Shikai circulated his Inner Strength.
His face showed a faint purple color, almost imperceptible, but the enormous Inner Strength inside him showed signs of becoming uncontrollable.
“Kid, stabilize the circulation of your Inner Strength,” Sword Spirit warned, Ye Shikai’s Inner Strength surged for the first time using the ‘Inner God Scripture’, the immense energy somewhat out of control, causing Ye Shikai intense pain all over.
